The subcategory becomes available under its parent for allowed expense entry and reporting.

Who can do this

You need access to Sub-Expense Type setup and relevant account.

Before you start

Confirm the parent head, unique subcategory name, account/default inheritance, reporting need, and approval.

Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.
